Member Testimonials
Outstanding YMCA from 50 year member of 2 Y’s
The center is very friendly and the staff is upbeat and helpful. Most folks leave their fashion statements at home, and come to meet friends and strangers striving to move more and last a bit longer. The experience can be anything from a daily workout with desired social connection to a planned and tracked self improvement program. You can be on-your-own or join classes and programs.
Variety of classes, variety of days and times, excellent instructors.
Nice mix of cardio and strength
Motivating instructors
Good bikes
I love the YMCA I love the classes. You have the best swimming pool I’ve been to since I was a kid and you even have a hot tub. Jamie Sue is my Pilates instructor, and when I was able to do the water aerobics in the morning, Bonnie was in charge of that. They’re all fabulous. You have the best teachers And the kindest people thanks for being my YMCAI
I love water aerobics with Bonnie she is amazing!!
Up dated equipment and the pool the most
Lots of group exercise classes to choose from, excellent instructors and friendly staff. Also the aerobic equipment is great too.
Variety of programs and times
Great facility, great staff.
I love the Olympic size pool I’m a swimmer and the Gulf of Mexico is so contaminated I can’t swim in it anymore So I am so grateful they have a pool Sometimes you have to wait for a lane and it’s frustrating because half of the pool is empty for the swim team
Great instructors! Wish there were more TRX classes. Around 10 am would be perfect!
You have a large array of classes. You are affordable. The people are friendly
I love chair yoga with Stacey Newhauser.
I think your going to need more classes when the snowbirds come down
Clean, friendly Great yoga classes! Leez is spectacular! We need more classes with her!!
I liked the country line dancing program but you deleted it.
Excellent. Exceptional care and service by all staff members . Facility is well maintained and spotless. It’s a safe place with endless opportunities for fitness and health stewardship.

I love it all.I live in North Port's a far drive for me and I'm getting ready for hips surgery.But I will be coming there after that you will see me!
I have only used the treadmill and a few machines
Steam room, pool, jacuzzi. Great staff.
Good choice of yoga classes for fit people but not enough classes for older or physically challenged. (Pls note the very overcrowded chair yoga where class enrollment is always booked out and class so full that a visual of teacher is not possible. ) During "snowbird" season we need two classes a day.
There is a need right now for a class every day and perhaps some class in addition for people who find a slower paced class more therapeutic.
What about a GENTLE tai chi for the less nimble seniors ? This is a very popular class in other YMCAs.
Cardio Splash: need two classes a day in the snow bird season.
A suggestion box on the reception counter top would encourage suggestions.
So far the Pilates with Natalia I hate to miss a day!
A wide assortment of live and virtual workout classes. These classes accommodate all ages and fitness levels. Trainers are also available for individual and small group training. Equipment is well maintained and the facility is kept
Clean.
You should also ask about dislikes and areas of potential improvement! Even for Those who are highly likely to recommend the facilities.
One issue is the enforcement of class sign up procedures and class sizes during season. Classes feel over crowded and people don’t sign up in advance but are still allowed in.
Love body pump, but I’ve taken many very good classes. The only suggestion I would is to allow year round members first registration of class. To avoid frustration during registration add additional classes in the same time slot.
